White-tailed Deer
Found these deer at Prospect Park this morning. I always knew there where deer there, just never had any luck finding them. Thanks for looking.

Nice poses in natural settings. Whitetails are fun to watch as they flick there tails in the air. Nice work.

Really nice Dan! I like the low-angle effect on the first, and the dynamic pose of the second.

Great shot on number 2. Not too often to see images of the tail up.

Ditto on what TC and Darren said! Great shots. Are these in Prospect Park in Littleton? :eek: And I thought I had seen white tail deer here in Colorado before, but was told there were none here. :mad: I'll be emailing this link to someone soon. :biggrin:

Thanks for the comments. Morris, these were at Prospect Park in Wheat Ridge. You can also find them at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal.

What Todd said.
I didn't even know we had whitetail deer in Colorado.

Sweet Dan! Very hard to get a shot of these timid little creatures. They are WAY more skiddish than mule deer. I like the details of both, but the second one is a classic white tail look.

Looks like these three bucks just shed their antlers and are starting to grow back in velvet. Lots of whitetail in the river valleys in eastern CO; not too surprised to see them spreading westward.
